>bro just 10, I mean 20, I mean 30 more years and the US will totally look like this>oh yeah that project got cancelled>and that one>yeah that one was a complete failure>that one didn't even last a month>but this one's coming soon! (we've pared it down to a single unprotected bike lane for half a mile)At what point do you just give up and accept the United States is a lost cause
at least you didn't spam another NJB video, but kys nonetheless
Just figure out a way to get a job in the place you want, that has the infrastructure you want.This is actually doable. Changing a city in your lifetime this much isn't unless something crazy happens.
>>2030130If car culture is mostly sustainable as it is in the US due to having enough space and resources then it's not going away. Public transit is something that results mostly from necessity.In Europe, since many cities have existed since ancient times they were already somewhat dense and huddled together, which then favoured public transit, and they continued to develop like that around transit. There was mostly not enough space or resources for car-oriented development. You got some of it mostly in France and Germany during the 2nd half of the 20th century, because they were booming economies, but even then it wasn't to the level of the US. Japan OTOH is the perfect example of simply not having much space due to the geographic constraints. Car-oriented development would be completely unsustainable over there.The US has both the space AND the economy for car-oriented development, with few exceptions like NYC.American cities before the advent of transit or cars were mostly very small, since they hadn't had much time to grow. Even during the brief era of transit before mass-motorization there was lots of low-density development like streetcar suburbs.I think it would be possible to have more transit-oriented development in the US, but it seems that there's just not much demand for it. Too few people really value access to proper public transit enough to give up cheap and roomy suburban living, even with its many drawbacks. And even if, then many people and places would still be badly connected to the public transit network, so they'd still depend on cars a lot.tl;dr it's never going to change because there's not nearly enough factors that would push for that change.Thanks for reding my blogpost follow me for more recipes
>>2030130>At what pointAnyone with even the slightest rudiment of intelligence has long since gave up any hope for the country. The us have been among the worst countries to live in for more than a decade now.
>>2030163You are too stupid to make any theories. In the world, besides Europe and the usa there are countries like China and Russia.
The cager-industrial complex wants you to give up.But the reality is that American cities are always densifying and improving their transi and bike infrastructure everyday, and miles driven per person are going. Sounds like OP needs to give up.
>>2030130>At what point do you just give up and accept the United States is a lost cause"it doesn't have trains everywhere therefore it's bad"What causes people to adopt this mindset?
>>2030169Everything I said can be extrapolated to any other country. Like Australia has more car-oriented planning, China more public transport, Russia somewhere in between. But in any case, the relevant world is USA, Europe and Japan. Noone cares about some gay shithole countries.
>>2030176>"it doesn't have trains everywhere therefore it's bad"
>>2030176(taking off pince-nez and polishing them) i believe it's when you care about something in that you will use it as a cudgel to beat people you've arbitrarily decided not to like, then using the inevitable protests to justify further beating>its not Japan Shinkansen Bullet Train therefore its bad and poop>that's a stupid opinion>LMAO OH NO NO NO TRAINAILURES ON SUICIDE W-ACK-TCH (seething wojack)
>>2030130the change will depend on the general wants and needs of the local population, as well as their politics, and will not be rapid. it will be a glacial, generational change even in the areas that are receptive to it. funny enough, I'm an oldfag and I'm >le wrong generation to see benefits of the stuff that's happening now, although my extremely cagefaggy city getting bikelanes most places and MUPs including a beltline within about 15 years after I moved here was shocking and very welcome.
>>2030224>a beltlineThe Atlanta Beltline was originally proposed as a ROW for light rail. That was quietly cut from the project after it gained public support and lycratards/urbanists still basedfaced over it so politicians figure why bother giving anything more than a plate full of shit
>>2030179>the relevant world is the USA because I'm MURRIKAN>Europe because I believe I'm white>Japan because I'm a retarded autist with a waifu pillow
>>2030296There's an AI containment thread for your AI sloppa
We'll just keep trying until we figure it out. As has already been pointed out in this thread, American cities all over are expanding their transit and bike infrastructure all the time, with many successes and improved ridership. The more we do it, the more expertise we accrue to finish these projects faster and with better budgets too. Canceling now would be the worst mistake you can make.
Recent highway projects in the US are just as bad desu. And what makes it worse is we don't even need any new highways. Whereas we really need a lot of transit if we want to improve traffic flow.
